Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic factors might have a role for lack of therapeutic response to anti-TNF-alpha agents, as previously suggested in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the role of the main TNF-alpha polymorphisms (-238G>A, -308G>A, -857C>T) in predicting the response to etanercept, an anti-TNF-alpha fusion protein. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Genomic DNA was...
